Chicago Court Rules Against Shower Niche Maker in Color Dispute with National Gypsum

In a recent legal development, drywall manufacturer National Gypsum successfully argued before a Chicago federal judge that a company producing shower wall niches violated an existing injunction. This ruling centers on the contention that the hues of pink being used by the niche manufacturer are too similar to the specific shade of purple that was previously protected in a legal dispute. The original jury’s decision had favored National Gypsum, establishing the injunction against unauthorized use of the color purple in construction materials.
